A review by kaplina
All the Tides of Fate by Adalyn Grace

4.0

Ok, I'll be honest. I did not like the beginning of this book. I felt that the character development we had with Amora from the end of the first book regressed when we opened with the beginning of this book. The tyrannic entitlement we were presented with which continued throughout the story made it extremely difficult to like her. However, maybe that's the beauty in Adalyn Grace's writing. She gives you a main character filled with flaws and somehow by the end of the book you end up liking the character.

Secondly, this book deals with the theme of grief throughout it. *Spoilers ahead*
Peppered throughout the action of Amora and co's adventures across Visidia, we follow the tumultuous emotions of Amora as she deals/or rather tries to suppress her grief over the death of her father. Anger is a common theme but we get to see her reach closure with her character arc within the last couple of chapters. It is bittersweet as we say goodbye to other characters as well.

All in all, All the Tides of Fate provides us with an expansion to the other magics of Visidia, peppered with swash-buckling adventure, an entitled grieving Queen tied up in a bittersweet ending.
